Saturday's Notebook

September 28, 1986

Glenn Hubbard of the Atlanta Braves experienced an accelerated heartbeat before Saturday's game in Atlanta and was taken to a hospital for a precautionary EKG. He was released afterward and was expected to play in today's game. Hubbard was forced to leave a game against the Dodgers last Oct. 2 because of atrialfibrulation, a twitching of the heart muscle, similar to a muscle spasm. The condition causes an unusual speeding-up of the heartbeat and is not related to any heart disease, according to physicians.
